Mattia De Marchi is a former professional road cyclist who has become a prominent figure in the world of gravel and endurance racing. After a successful career on the road, including a stage win at the 2016 Tour of China, De Marchi transitioned to gravel racing in 2021. This shift allowed him to discover a new way of biking, embracing the freedom and challenges of a growing discipline. Known for his resilience and adventurous spirit, he quickly excelled in ultra-distance events, winning races like the Badlands in Spain and The Traka 360.

Though gravel now defines much of his career, De Marchi’s love for road cycling remains strong. He enjoys returning to road events that incorporate elements of gravel racing—long distances with minimal feed zones—pushing his limits in both disciplines. As part of the Enough Cycling collective, he continues to inspire others by blending competition with exploration and personal growth, embodying the spirit of cycling in its purest form.
